Chapter 8 Tianshui City
Three days later, at the junction of Lechuan and Beiyu, Chen Yue and Huang Shi inquired about the latest news in a roadside tea shed.
"Uncle, can you tell us about what's happened recently?" Chen Yue asked the old man who was handing out tea to passers-by on the side of the road.
"Lately?" the old man stroked his pale beard, "something really happened, Li Wudao's son was killed in Mangshui City, and a fire broke out in Mangshui City, burning tens of thousands of civilians to death, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless and reduced to refugees. ”
Hearing this news, Chen Yue was stunned, he didn't expect that witch to set such a big fire.
Chen Yue turned his head and saw Huang Shi with angry eyes, Huang Shi lowered his voice, Chen Yue said, "You need to give me an explanation for this matter!"
Chen Yue nodded and continued to ask: "Uncle, how are those refugees doing now?"
"Those people? Because his son was killed, Li Wudao issued an order, and all the people in Mangshui City were killed, and tens of thousands of people have been killed. When the princess heard the news, she couldn't bear to see the people of the original Holy Dynasty suffer such a catastrophe, so she sent an army to pick up those refugees to Beiyu and Nanqi. The old man sighed, "That Li Wudao is really not a thing, his son was killed by others, and he splashed dirty water on Her Royal Highness the Princess." I don't want to think about what kind of thing my son is, and it's not strange that he was killed that day. ”
Hearing that the refugees were picked up by the army sent by Dugu Cana, Huang Shi's anger decreased slightly.
"Uncle, what about the front-line war?" Chen Yue continued to ask.
"Where are you from?" said the old man, who was still praising the princess, looked at them with strange eyes. "I didn't even know about such a big thing. ”
"Uncle, our two brothers have been in retreat for a long time, and they have only recently come out of the customs, and we are not very clear about the outside world. Chen Yue explained. "I heard that some people were unfavorable to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and my two brothers rushed to work for Her Royal Highness after leaving the customs, intending to serve Her Royal Highness. ”
"When the Holy Emperor is here, he is blessed with the world. Our two brothers have received the favor of the Holy Emperor, and now we have come to repay the kindness. ”
"It turned out to be a righteous man who had just come out of the customs!" The old man was full of respect for Chen Yue and Huang Shi's attitude. "Alas, the Holy Emperor gave grace to the world several times, the Taoism was announced, everyone could cultivate the Tao, and the lifting system was created, so that the poor family could also produce noble sons. For the people of the world, it is even more impeccable. It's a pity! His old man's bones are not cold, and this beast is not in a hurry to become the new emperor, and he doesn't take a mirror to look at himself, is he worthy?"
Dugu Yan was really good to the people under his rule at the beginning, and Dugu Cana can survive to this day, which has a lot to do with those who have received Dugu Yan's favor.
"Uncle, is Her Royal Highness the Princess still in Tianshui City now?" asked Chen Yue.
"Yes, why isn't it there, it's the territory of the King of Beiyu. The old man said, and the last sentence had some warning implications.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, uncle, our two brothers just want to serve the princess, and the reason why we ask where the princess is is is because our brother has a secret to tell Her Royal Highness. Chen Yue explained to the old man with a smile.
Because Dugu Yan is very good to the people, and the people recognize him very much. Dugu Cana is also very good to the people, and the people of Lechuan, Beiyu, and Nanqi are very protective of Dugu's father and daughter. If you speak ill of them, they will look at you with hatred and will drive you away.
The citizens of other countries did not dare to defend Dugu Gana obviously because of the king, but they still approved in their hearts.
"Goodbye, uncle! Our two brothers are going to find Her Royal Highness. After Chen Yue said goodbye to the old man, he headed towards Tianshui City.
After the two of them left, the old man who delivered the tea took out the sound transmission stone, and said the appearance, height, and purpose of Chen Yue and Huang Shi, and finally added a sentence, the identity is suspicious, and it is not appropriate to be gullible.
......
"That woman has nothing to do with me, although I knew she was going to kill Li Yi, but I really didn't know that she would set such a big fire and make so many innocent people homeless. As soon as he walked away, Chen Yue didn't open his mouth and took the initiative to explain.
"......" Huang Shi didn't speak after hearing this, he knew that the people of Shangzong didn't bother to lie.
"I'll question her myself when the time comes. Huang Shi spoke slowly.
"Well, then let's go to Tianshui City to find Dugu Gana first, I can use the elixir to help her create a foundation building army, so that she is invincible in the spirit army. Chen Yue said.
"Hmm. Huang Shi nodded, "I'll teach their generals and teach them military formations." ”
In the past three days, Huang Shi and Chen Yue have explored various places and found that nine times out of ten people in Dugu Xuantian's small world recognize Dugu Cana's succession, it can be seen that her father and her personality are loved by so many people, although he may not be a good lord, but at least kindness can be guaranteed.
After two days of running around overnight, Chen Yue and Huang Shi finally arrived in Tianshui City.
Tianshui City is also on alert, and the spirit army checks the pedestrians at the city gate, but compared with Mangshui City, the spirit army and the people of Tianshui City have some "human flavor", not as depressed as Mangshui City.
In Tianshui City, the soldiers with red silk on their arms are responsible for maintaining order in the city and providing assistance to pedestrians. Dressed in white are medical staff who treat many of the injured refugees who have just entered the city. Dressed in blue are the clay monks, who build houses, and they build new houses for the refugees for free.
The most "hot" place in the city is the conscription office, unlike other countries, the conscription of the three kingdoms of Lechuan, Beiyu and Nanqi is voluntary, unlike the other seven countries, which are more or less forced.
Now, the three kingdoms of Lechuan Beiyu and Nanqi have been allied, because the Lechuan country is closest to the new dynasty established by You, so the commander of the alliance decided to evacuate the people of Lechuan from the Lechuan country and divide them into the other two countries, and then use the land of Lechuan as a battlefield to start a war confrontation with the new dynasty.
Many people reluctantly left their hometowns, resentful of them, and the emperor was enlightened and the princess was benevolent, so the people who signed up for the spirit army were very active.
The second is the major trading houses, which give out a lot of spiritual rice to the refugees and provide building materials, so the streets are full of convoys with various trading house logos to deliver supplies and materials.
Everyone is busy, some for their own ideals, some for the country, and some for their lovers. They all share a common goal: to defeat the rebels Yuu.
Maybe they are inferior to You in terms of strength, but they are stronger than the army of the new dynasty in terms of momentum. Everybody is so fulfilled, they enjoy being busy, they enjoy being fulfilling.
"It's two worlds altogether!" Chen Yue sighed.
"Well, the difference between the living conditions of You's people and Dugu Gana's people is really too big. Huang Shi also sighed.
It seems that the phrase "the king is unkind, and the people should be dogs" is not bad at all, and the people in the territory are completely inhuman, all like slaves, and here, I feel the breath of people. "It also deepened my determination to help Jana." ”
"Without further ado, let's hurry up and find Dugu Cana. Hopefully, this pointless war will end as soon as possible. After Huang Shi finished speaking, he walked towards the Tianshui City City Lord's Mansion.
